Public hearing on "The fight against harmful tax practices within the European Union and abroad”

One of the tools that the EU has to fight against harmful tax practices is the EU list of non-cooperative jurisdictions for tax purposes. A panel consisting of three experts, Prof Elly VAN DE VELDE (Hasselt University), Alex COBHAM (Tax Justice Network), and Mr Valère MOUTARLIER, (European Commission) will discuss the issue with Members. Previous special and inquiry committees have expressed concern over the level of transparency of the Council in the area of taxation. The European Ombudsman, Ms Emily O'REILLY, has been invited to assess the possible impact of her recommendations aimed at increasing transparency in the Council's working methods in this area. This is likely to include the work of the Code of Conduct Group.
